A Georgia high school just pulled the plug on "The Crucible" because a few pearl-clutching parents deemed it "demonic." The irony! This isn't just baffling censorship; it's a symptom of a deeper societal rot where fear, ignorance, and religious overreach masquerade as "protecting the children." When a play warning against moral panic falls victim to it, we're plunging into a regressive abyss where critical thinking is demonized. This incident highlights alarming authoritarian control hijacking public education, proving unchecked religious influence and narcissistic entitlement threaten artistic expression and crucial historical lessons. Rage against the absurdity and fight for intellectual freedom.News Source:Georgia high school cancels 'The Crucible'By Hemant Mehta for The Friendly AtheistMay 26, 2025

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are four seasoned infantry task force seniors. LTC Andy Smith is the TF Senior for Task Force 2 (IN BN) with ten rotations as an Observer – Coach – Trainer and six rotations as a rotational training unit. LTC Matt Bandi is the TF Senior for Task Force 3 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and four rotations as RTU. LTC(P) Timothy Price is the TF Senior for Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) with twenty-one rotations as an OCT and seven rotations as RTU. And LTC Chuck Wall is the TF Senior for Task Force 1 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and five rotations as RTU. This episode of The Crucible centers on the raw, uncompromising realities of infantry warfighting in the LSCO environment, drawing directly from firsthand observations at JRTC. The discussion highlights how success on the modern battlefield is built on a foundation of small-unit fundamentals—movement, marksmanship, reporting, and rehearsals. Leaders emphasize that doctrinal clarity and simplicity at the squad and platoon level remain decisive, especially under pressure from drone surveillance, EW interference, and contested logistics. Units that survive and win are those that maintain discipline in their fieldcraft: they camouflage well, rehearse everything, and operate with a combat mindset that anticipates disruption rather than being surprised by it.   The conversation also underscores the importance of deliberate leadership placement, effective use of terrain, and clarity in commander's intent. Fieldcraft isn't just about staying hidden—it's about moving smart, planning for degraded comms, and sustaining yourself under fire. Leaders describe how critical it is for junior NCOs and officers to own their piece of the battlefield, from shaping local security zones to enforcing LOGSTAT discipline. The episode drives home that modernization won't compensate for a lack of tactical proficiency—and that high-tech tools like sUAS, ATAK, or digital fires architecture only matter if teams have mastered the analog skills to shoot, maneuver, communicate, and survive under stress.   Remember, Professionals train for the fight—they rehearse under pressure, refine fundamentals, and prepare for the worst-case scenario. Amateurs train until they get it right; professionals train until they can't get it wrong. In LSCO, that difference means survival.   Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Applying the Actionable Truths 6: VisionA great vision, we discuss this week in the sixth episode of our series within the show on the Beyond the Crucible Roadmap and its actionable truths, is one which seems so real you can almost feel it and touch it. You have this overwhelming desire to make that vision a reality.This vision may be a combination of lessons you've learned from your crucible. It will typically involve people you want to help. Either way, a great vision is one that is other-focused, that in some way will help the world to be a better place.To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

Suffering is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for mankind. As we explore Psalm 119:65-72 we see how God can use it for all believers, both now and in eternity.

In this Father's Day-adjacent episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Patrick and Steffany tackle a provocative parenting truth: even with the best intentions, we inevitably program our children with the same hidden beliefs we spend adulthood trying to break. Drawing on decades of coaching thousands of young athletes and entrepreneurs, they explore how over-protection, “helicopter” habits and constant rescuing can stunt a child's resilience, self-worth and ability to navigate adversity. Key discussion points include: Limiting Beliefs & Mindset Feng Shui – Why phrases like “money doesn't grow on trees” or “if it wasn't for bad luck…” hard-wire scarcity and victim mentalities that linger into adulthood. Adversity as a Crucible for Growth – From Patrick's playground bullying story to Steffany's childhood swim lesson, the hosts show how momentary struggle forges confidence and problem-solving skills. Parent vs. Best Friend – The cost of prioritising perpetual comfort over boundaries, team dynamics and real-world consequences. Role-Model Mechanics – Sons learn how to treat women from how mothers set boundaries; daughters often choose partners mirroring (or intentionally opposing) dad's behaviour. Mentorship & Community – Why seeking outside role-models can offset a parent's blind spots and expand a child's 400,000 in-born traits. You'll leave with actionable reflection questions: Where might you be shielding your kids from healthy discomfort? Which subconscious scripts from your own upbringing still shape daily decisions? And most importantly, what new boundaries or growth opportunities can you introduce so your children build the resilience, values and mindset to thrive without you? Perfect for dads, mums, coaches and anyone interested in mindset coaching, personal development, parenting tips, resilience training and self-limiting belief breakthroughs, this conversation offers both heartfelt stories and practical wisdom.

What if the solution to global poverty wasn't more aid, but more entrepreneurs? In this episode, Richard Medcalf speaks with Etienne Salborn, founder of the Social Innovation Academy (SINA), a transformative movement turning refugees, orphans, and disadvantaged youth into social entrepreneurs. From a single project in Uganda to 19 communities across Africa, Etienne's work is redefining education, leadership, and impact—by creating “change-maker makers.” In this conversation, you'll learn: Why the traditional aid model often fails—and how SINA's “free responsibility” philosophy rewrites the rulesHow a traumatised youth can transform into a powerful leader of a thriving enterpriseThe radical initiation that helps people shed limiting beliefs and reclaim their agencyHow to scale leadership without centralised control—so movements grow like forests, not factoriesWhat most leaders miss about building others who can lead without you For anyone who wants to multiply leaders and leave a legacy that lasts, this one's essential listening.

Why does a 72-year-old play about 333-year-old witch trials still feel urgently relevant today? Arthur Miller's The Crucible has become theater's ultimate evergreen story, because it captures something timeless and terrifying about human nature—our willingness to destroy each other when fear takes hold.When Miller's play premiered on January 10, 1953, audiences immediately understood it wasn't really about Salem. This was Miller's bold response to McCarthyism, a thinly veiled critique of Senator Joseph McCarthy's communist witch hunts that were tearing through American society. Miller had taken the Salem witch trials and transformed them into a mirror, forcing 1950s America to confront its own capacity for panic and persecution.But here's what makes The Crucible truly remarkable: it didn't stop being relevant when McCarthyism ended. In our current era, when we're so quick to label people as enemies and deny their humanity, Miller's allegory feels more essential than ever. The play's central question—what happens when a community turns against itself in search of hidden enemies—remains one of the most important questions we can ask.Whether you know the play from school, the stage, or the screen, whether you have family who lived through the Red Scare or ancestors who witnessed Salem's trials, The Crucible speaks to something universal about the human condition. It reminds us that in times of crisis, we all face the same choice: Will we stand with the mob, or will we find the courage to stand for justice?Buy the book: The Red Scare by Clay RisenBuy the Play: The Crucible by Arthur MillerBuy the book: The Enemy Within by John DemosHelp Us Build Our Patreon Community⁠⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts WebsiteThe Thing About Salem WebsiteCheck out our new podcast: The Thing About Salem on YouTube!⁠⁠Sign up for our Newsletter⁠⁠Donate to The Thing About Witch Hunts Fieldwork Fund

The Power of Humbler Leadership: Josh WymoreJosh Wymore, our guest this week, was striking out as a leader as an assistant coach of a women's softball team — until a more seasoned coach gave him counsel that changed the trajectory of not just his leadership, but his life. Wymore was trying to lead the ladies thinking he had to have, and provide, all the answers.What the more experienced coach taught him set him on the path of embracing, researching and writing about HUMBLER LEADERSHIP, the title of his book we talk about this week.The lessons he lays out can not only unlock humility in your leadership, it can help you avoid and overcome crucibles, too.To learn more about John Wymore, visit joshwymore.comTo explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

Want Contentment? Here's How to Find ItDiscontentment. It's a crucible all its own when you're not living a life aligned with your skills and values. But what if you are pursuing a life that is fully aligned with your skills and values? Discontentment can be a world-rattler when is pops up under those circumstances.Warwick tackles this subject in his most recent blog, and in our discussion this week we help you overcome those difficult feelings with such tips as understanding that contentment is not found solely in what you do and asking yourself if your identity is wrapped up in the cause you are devoting your life to.If it is — another tip — decouple who you are from what you do.To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

In this episode, we delve into one of the most profound and contested questions in both philosophy and esotericism: What is the self in magical practice?Drawing on thinkers such as René Descartes, David Hume, and Carl Jung, we examine how the self has been variously conceived as a rational substance, a bundle of perceptions, or an archetypal totality. We then explore how these models intersect with key esoteric frameworks, from Aleister Crowley's doctrine of the True Will and the invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel, to the layered soul of Hermetic Qabalah, and the radically performative self of chaos magic.Is the magical self unified, fragmented, performative, or transcendent? And how do different traditions answer this question through their rituals, symbols, and spiritual technologies?Join me as we explore the shifting boundaries between self, soul, and sorcery.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Bernardine Evaristo is the winner of The Women's Prize Outstanding Contribution Award - a one-off literary honour to mark the 30th anniversary year of the Women's Prize for Fiction. Bernardine joins Nuala McGovern to discuss her huge body of work and career highlights including winning the Booker Prize in 2019 for her novel Girl, Woman, Other, and her role as a champion for women and women of colour in the creative industries. Yesterday South Korea voted in its new president Lee Jae-myung, but many women are concerned about the leader's silence on gender equality in a country where the gender pay gap is one of the largest in Asia. Min Hee Go is Professor of Political Science at Ewha Women's University in Seoul, she tells Nuala McGovern about the growth of anti-feminist rhetoric within South Korea's political establishment, and the future of women's rights in the country.Consumed by paranoia, superstition and a ruthless sense of justice, a climate of fear and mass hysteria sweeps through the town of Salem, Massachusetts when rumours grow that a group of girls are practising witchcraft. What lies are the townspeople prepared to tell themselves in order to survive? A new production of The Crucible is currently on stage at the Globe Theatre in London. Nuala is joined by Ola Ince the director and Hannah Saxby who plays Abigail Williams – the primary instigator of the witch trials that follow.

Applying the Actionable Truths 5: CharacterWe take a look this week at the fifth actionable truth our research has shown us helps you move from trial to triumph: character.It's one thing to have beliefs and values, it's another thing to live them out. So we have to make a choice. Are our beliefs and values going to be a bumper sticker or something hanging on a corporate wall … or are they going to be real? That's the sum and substance of this week's conversation.To come back from our crucible, we really need to live what we believe. That is a critical step on the journey to getting beyond our crucible and leading a life of significance.To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

Sunday Morning Worship ServiceMay 25, 2025Guest Speaker: Ptr Benjamin ReposarHeritage BBC Cavite, Philippines

In Opening Our Minds, Jon wrote about an outburst of mass sociogenic illness or mass hysteria in Chechnyan schools. Almost a hundred pupils thought they'd been poisoned by the Russians. It took two years for them all to be released from hospital as a cognitive therapist helped them to understand the condition.History has seen many examples of the madness of crowds - the Salem Witch Trials or those described by Huxley in The Devils of Loudon (filmed as The Devils), but are all human groups to some extent carriers of crazy ideas?Dr Moffic brings his lifetime as a therapist and his experience as a social psychiatrist to bear on the question.buy Jon's book, Opening Our Minds: Avoiding Abusive Relationships and Authoritarian GroupsMore on gender in JudaismSee Jon on Ladbible Jon is deeply indebted to Khapta Akhmedova for her painstaking help with this chapter. For a detailed account of mass hysteria, see Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudon, which was the basis for Ken Russell's stylish film, The Devils. Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, deals with the Salem witch trials and is also available in two film versions.

One year after stepping into the Crucible debate stage with Andrew Wilson, Jacob Winograd returns to reflect — not to rehash, but to reckon. In this episode, Jacob candidly unpacks what he got right, where he fumbled, and how his thinking has evolved since going toe-to-toe with one of Christian Nationalism's most articulate defenders. From the limits of civil government to the dangers of state-enforced virtue, this is a raw, thoughtful look at how debate, even in defeat, can sharpen conviction.But this episode is more than a post-mortem — it's a call to action. Jacob exposes the philosophical and theological inconsistencies in Christian Nationalist thought, from its misuse of coercive power to its dangerous flirtations with tribalism and cultural Christianity. Drawing on Scripture, economic reasoning, and his own spiritual growth, he makes the case for a better way: one rooted not in the sword of Caesar, but in the upside-down kingdom of Christ. Whether you're skeptical of libertarianism or disillusioned with reactionary populism, this reflection is a must-listen.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

This week on A Load of BS on Sport, Daniel Ross and Dan Biggar welcome the legendary seven-time snooker world champion, Stephen Hendry.Known as the ‘King of the Crucible', Hendry redefined snooker with his cold-blooded focus, relentless pursuit of victory, and a psychological edge that left opponents in his wake. In this candid conversation, Stephen opens up about his journey from a Christmas snooker table to dominating the world stage as a teenager—and the immense pressures of staying at the top for over a decade.We dig into the mindset that made him a phenomenon: the calculated persona he crafted, the emotional toll of high-stakes finals, and the ‘greed for success' that separated him from the rest. Stephen reflects on the role of mentorship, the psychological challenges of the game—including battling the yips—and the emotional journey of letting go of his champion identity.The episode also explores life after snooker, with Hendry embracing a new persona as a YouTube star, and the contrast between his ruthless on-table presence and his more relaxed, accessible self today. He shares honest thoughts on rivalries, especially with Ronnie O'Sullivan, and what success means to him now.Packed with insight, honesty, and classic sound bites, this episode is a must-listen for sports fans and anyone fascinated by the psychology of winning.Highlights Include:The origins of Hendry's love for snooker and early influences like Jimmy WhiteThe pressure of finals and the unique demands of the CrucibleHow mentorship shaped Hendry's career and mindsetThe emotional cost of chasing perfection and letting go of the champion's identityTransitioning to life beyond professional sport and building a new brand onlineThoughts on rivalries, records, and the next generation of snooker greatsMemorable Quotes“He was this kind of cold-blooded phenomenon.”“I fell in love with the game straight away.”“Talent is almost the least important thing.”“You need a big pair of bollocks.”“It's what separates the best from the rest.”“Winning felt like business.”“You've got to be greedy for success.”“I loved being the one that everyone wanted to beat.”“Letting go of my champion identity was horrible. Horrible.”“I don't want him to beat it. Of course I don't.” (on Ronnie O'Sullivan chasing his record)If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave us a review, and share it with your friends or anyone who loves sport and great stories.

His Greatest Adrenaline Rush? Serving Others: John Graham John Graham shipped out on a freighter to Asia when he was 16, hitchhiked through the Algerian Revolution at 19 and was on the team that made the first ascent of Mt. McKinley's North Wall at 20, a climb so dangerous it's never been repeated. He hitchhiked around the world at 22, working as a correspondent for the Boston Globe in every war he came across.A U.S. Foreign Service Officer for fifteen years, he served in Libya during the 1969 revolution and in one of the most difficult and dangerous areas in Vietnam during the war there.. For three years in the mid-seventies, he was a member of NATO's top-secret Nuclear Planning Group, then served as a foreign policy advisor for Sen. John Glenn. During a posting at the United Nations, however, his life began to turn. He became deeply involved in U.S. human rights initiatives, including the fight against apartheid in South Africa.Still, something was missing. In 1980, a close brush with death aboard a burning cruise ship in a typhoon in the North Pacific forced him to accept a deeper meaning for his life. He found it in 1983, when he became and still works as a leader of the Giraffe Heroes Project, a global nonprofit moving people to stick their necks out for the common good—and giving them the tools to succeedTo learn more about John Graham, visit www.johngraham.orgTo explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

The Valuable Lessons in Others' Mistakes How can other people's mistakes or misfortunes, whether they were their fault or not, benefit you? We may agree we can learn from our own mistakes and misfortunes, but we can also learn from the mistakes other people made and the misfortunes other people have faced. This week, we discuss Warwick's latest blog at BeyondTheCrucible.com to discover what we can learn from what others have gone through.

Drop us a line at info@beyondthecrucible.comAt age 18. Judy Henderson married the man who would become the father of her two children. What began with hopes of family and stability turned into 12 years of domestic abuse, a period she later recognized as foundational to her vulnerability in subsequent relationships.In 1982, she was wrongly convicted of capital murder in a case tied to her then-boyfriend's criminal activities. He was acquitted at trial; she was sentenced to life in prison without parole. At 32,Henderson entered the Missouri prison system with no history of criminal behavior and little understanding of the legal process that had condemned her.What followed was not just the passage of time, but a metamorphosis. Angry and disoriented at first, Henderson turned inward to confront her past and embrace her faith. Therapy sessions and support groups — particularly those for survivors of domestic abuse — helped her understand the patterns of trauma that had shaped her decisions. She came to recognize herself as a battered woman, a term she had not known before incarceration. Her eventual release came in 2017 through the clemency of then-Governor Eric Greitens, who made history as the first Missouri governor to personally visit a prison to deliver news of a commutation. Now in her seventies and living near her family in Missouri, Henderson works for Catholic Charities and remains an active advocate for criminal justice reform.She recounts it all in her new memoir, When the Light Finds Us: From a Life Sentence to a Life Transformed.To learn more about Judy Henderson, including how to buy her memoir, visit www.judyannhenderson.comTo explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

TWO US NAVY CARRIER BATTLE GROOUPS TO THE MIDDLE EAST.  3/4: To Risk It All: Nine Conflicts and the Crucible of Decision by  Admiral James Stavridis USN  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Risk-All-Conflicts-Crucible-Decision/dp/0593297741/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= At the heart of Admiral James Stavridis's training as a naval officer was the preparation to lead sailors in combat, to face the decisive moment in battle whenever it might arise. In To Risk it All, he offers up nine of the most useful and enthralling stories from the US Navy's nearly 250-year history, and draws from them a set of insights that we can all put to use when confronted with fateful choices.      Conflict. Crisis. Risk. These words have a distinct meaning in a military context that we hope will never apply identically in our own lives. But at the same time, as Admiral Stavridis shows with great clarity, many lessons are universal.    To Risk it All is filled with thrilling and heroic exploits, but it is anything but a shallow exercise in myth burnishing. Every leader in this book has real flaws, as all humans do, and the stories of failure, or at least the decisions that have been defined as such, are as crucial as the stories of success. In the end, when this master class is concluded, we will be better armed for hard decisions both expected and not.
